Shouldnt need it. If you flash the box with a UK image using IFA, then you can use FTP to transfer your service.xml/bouquet.xml files to the box. Alternatively you can just scan for channels.
There is software for the PC that can emulate the DBOX control; see here: http://www.dbox2.info/download.php?viewpage=5&catid=5&subcat=
look for "DBOX2Remote Over Lan"

Forget sportster pro, its not what it was lived up to be in my opinion.

It's all set up and ready to go so you wont have any hassle in sorting your box out with it. Just remember that you'll need to do a scan to get your channels

lol, its an RJ45 ethernet crossover cable. It will look identical to the one used on your cable modem, but the wires inside are different.
A com cable is thicker and the sockets at each end are larger, whereas the crossover cable looks more like a telephone line.

You need to disable ALL of the connections apart from the one you are using. This includes disabling any broadband (however you connect), USB, other ethernet, 1394/Firewire connections etc.
You will also need to FULLY DISABLE the built in Windows XP Firewall. You can do that by clicking "Change Windows Firewall Settings" on the left pane in the Network Connections window.

(p.s.... are you sure its a crossover cable you have found as i used to use a straight/patch cable for mine and although they look identical it just wont work)

If the text is in german then you can't have flashed a UK image - look in the downloads section, you definately 100% need an image modified for UK use.
We cant use german images in the UK as they simply dont contain the right settings and modifications, and obviously we cant read anything they say
Once you're new UK image has been flashed then your box is sorted

ok m8 ill try and get a new cable today maybe its that i did put the new sportster image on or it said it did lol maybe the cable is not a crossover one cheers all for your help>I think the problem is either the cable or the german menu
when i get to the part for writting the flash file i am not sure if i am selecting the correct sectionexpert i think is the second one down i select that then i have no idea what file is write one partition cos of the german.ok i think i have found it but there is only one file there its called mtd.Img ? no Image.Img

The mtd.img is the correct one, just named different sometimes,the menu you want in the software update menu is then the second one down (expert functions) then 4th down (write one partition) then 4th down again (flash without bootloader), if all else fails then get crossover and flash with ifa.

DessertDog,
temporarily (saves alot of hassle!), do this:
1. go into "dbox" menu.
2. select "einstuellung" (or whatever is german for settings)
3. select "sprache" (or whatever is german for language)
4. select "english"
5. press ok.
6. menus are now in english.

Use IFA to flash a new image - you dont need to do anything via FTP and dont need to no the IP address, all you need is an ethernet cable; the IFA software, and a UK image from the downloads section.
by image i assume you mean the xlm file if so there is not one for my area in forum m8
Thanks for all the help lads i do appriciate it
dam now im getting gbh from misses
